I lean towards Cacofonix's methods myself - can't carry a tune in a bucket.

Military grade water pistols? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_jet_cutter)

I like the idea that rather than having a jewel in there, they actually stuffed Jewel in there.

Military grade water pistols? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_jet_cutter)
Err no, it was intended to be a joke, just like the rest of the poll.
Pistols = something you shoot people with, i.e. evil, possibly military.
Water Pistol = something you shoot people with, but its only water, i.e. ok, harmless, not military at all.
Military grade water pistols = something military worthless like a water pistol cant be "military grade".

Just 'cause you meant it as a joke doesn't mean they (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cannon) don't exist!

Show me a soldier using a water pistol and then I'm actually proved wrong.

A device like the linked one doesnt really count, as nobody carries those around or uses them as a weapon. They're simply too heavy.

But they are classified as "Non-Lethal" weapons.

Happy?  They've been used since the 1930's, but they're truck mounted.

Although new developments are in progress...

But the backlash knocks the user down, too...

Isn't the current "term of trade" Less-Lethal? And as one who had done a fair amount of baby-sitting, I've found that some of those "super soaker" style water-carbines can sting on bare skin at close range, and certainly need to be kept out of eyes (safety glasses or wrap-round sunnies for all combatants under Akima's rules  :police: ).

Keep trying.  You might succeed...

If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking 'till you do suck seed!

No, it's legit, from this article (http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/15/riot-controls-a-riot-when-water-cannons-topple-police/) - appears to be a test run. 

Poor lab rat, about to be knocked flat by his own weapon.  Remoinds me of Beaker from the Muppets...
